BAIT & TACKLE v1.2.0: THE STAR OF THE SHOW UPDATE
The team has been wanting to add more of what makes Bait & Tackle the game that it is: Bosses. As a result, we’ve added a new boss, with a superboss variant, a new area, new music, and new fish to catch! We’re adding optional mid-game content to give you guys more of the game you love!
